#office

I see people coming into the office before lunch and leave office before 3 pm. Sometimes it makes me wonder if they are really "working." I also see people in their office glue to their work computer for HOURS with the lights OFF = ALL of them were SAFE on this round. Maybe we should follow their pattern to survive

Do managers also have to work the full eight hours in the office? I’ve noticed that some mid-level managers spend less than eight hours there.

While scheduling a meeting I noticed some coworkers’ roles had that string added to their role. Does anyone here know what it means?

What gives? Anyone know of a plan to resolve the congestion in the near future?

Where does it say what counts as a day in the office? The 4 hours in the faq is NOT for that formula.

I am going to take my chance and continue 4 hours in office and 4 hours at home to.

Anyone else taking that risk that 4 hours won’t count or just me?

I say f it. Going to risk it all. 8 hours in office sitting by myself makes no sense

And those in other offices too, are you being ask to relocated to Bellevue, WA as well?

What are ways to in all technicality adhere to RTO rules to the letter, without breaking rules, but still fighting the micromanagement mandates?

Some Ideas
Boycott TTUS

Log into office early (in office IP tracking) and run errands in the morning. Long lunch breaks while logged in.

Requiring your manager to attend all meetings in conference rooms (in person collaboration is important!)

Being in office only the exact minimum required. Tbd - maybe 6.5 hours?

Switching seats every day with reservations in Reserve me and kicking people out of their seat they forgot to reserve

It would be a shame if someone brought one of those fa-t sprays and it accidentally went off or if someone accidentally left fresh fish they had planned for lunch in a drawer over a weekend.

Does anyone know of any formal policy that prohibits employees from bringing a walking pad (electric treadmill) to campus to use under their desk? I have a dedicated spot, so no hot desking involved. Or is this a classic situation of “ask forgiveness, not permission” ?

I didn’t fully connect the dots a couple weeks ago but our leader made sure we saw the update to the in office goal on Workday, and that it meant full days which was at least 6 hours. I didn’t think much of it until yesterday when we saw all of the discrepancies. The tracked number is over 6 hours which they will never tell you because they want 8.

I know of at least 2 people in our office, but there are probably more.

Today’s the day where some slacker always shows up to say the presence report is wrong. What gives? Is he on spring break?

Anyone else had their manager ask if they were interested in possibly taking a buyout. This is happening in some out of region nts/abfs. Offices ?

Work 6 hours in office, leave to beat traffic.
Work 2 hours at home to get my 8 hours day.

Does that count as 1 day in office?

Many people are saying if you work in the office and then work at home same day, they won’t count as a 1 day in office???

Anyone have any word on what's going on with the Richardson building they acquired last year? I'm hearing some buildings in the Dallas area are going to be closed and the employees in those buildings will have to report to the Richardson location.

Long time Dell person here (20 years). I'm looking at applying for a job with AWS in Austin. Curious what the culture is like. And I get it...one devil to another. But I am single income house and need to afford to live and save. And for what it is worth I am okay with going into an office 5 days a week. Just curious how it's done at AWS Austin.

Some questions:
Are desks/cubes assigned?
Do cubes have walls at least?
5 days on-site or hybrid?
Do they track badge scans openly? (Dell does...created a tool for us too)

What is the review cycle like? Annual? Are there bonuses tied to annual review? What do percentages look like?

Anything else I should know?

I just looked up my information in teams. My business address is now listed as “Bassett”. There is no town near me with this name or that has a UHC building. Does anyone know what this means? I am a remote worker currently. Thanks in advance.

Are they tracking network logins? People are saying their manager is harassing them about being in the office at least hours a day all five days of the week.

I see some jobs that only list the NYC or Frisco as office locations on Workday, are those negotiable at all? Wondering if I currently report to the Charlotte office and want to apply if I could stay here or would need to move.

I'm aware that People leaders and above have access to badge-in data. One of the STS leaders has been strongly recommending that employees be in the office from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Is this a standard expectation across firm?

Whitacre Tower in Downtown Dallas is and will always be our home. Don't fall for any of that Plano talk.

Averaging over 8 hours for the first 4 days of the week. I subtract that from my Friday hours so I average only 40 hours for the week. Just about time to go. I love the new culture that Stank has created. Have a great weekend. Remember, the Masters is next week so be sure to get bring in your personal tablet to watch from your desk on Thursday!

For those working in tech, does anyone have the inside scoop of what changes are on the horizon? I heard they are cracking down on being in the office X amount of hours per day, new desks are being built on the tech floors, lots of leadership has left and the ones who have remained some have been shuffled around.

Are we allowed to stay overnight after a late night?

Let the Hunger Games begin!

is it safe to assume this status remains for at least next 2 years until Plano campus is built? I really need to get my family out of rental situation and I was curious if anybody is doing the same this year in a non hub location. If not what else are you doing with your current homes?

Why does leadership expect us to be in the office if there’s never enough seating?

Why do people reserve seats everyday and never show up?

Why are we even allowed to reserve seats in the first place for weeks out??

The message has been clear for month now in the entirety of underwriting. Move to claims or gtfo. All this worry about going in office more next year. brother, you’ll be gone by October lmao. Get on the same page about creating a union or just accept whats coming like the good little sheep you are. Out the Farm and out to pasture.

Reporting will look for 8 hours but minimum is 6 hours
No exceptions (unless people are out of office for sick time, vacation, approved leave, etc.)
You can’t extend the hours throughout the week; it must be a minimum of 3 days/week, 6 hours/day
Absolutely no gaming the system — anyone caught doing this will be terminated immediately
New Info

3 full days/week does mean 12 days/month, although 11 still meets the 90%+ requirement
Reports have already been sent to level 4 leaders for where things stand today
Minimum of 6+ hours in office does not mean people only have to work 6 hours/day

I have been trying all day to grab a copy of my payslip.
The link to last year’s payslip works but the main link just spins.
Has anyone else tried to get payslip copies recently?

You'd think that when the big wigs demand RTO, they'd at least supply you with the basics in the office.

No plates in the dining area for a week now, but the corporate propaganda "Our values" banner is flying proudly

Anyone else have people in their office pack stuff up, and told they’re being moved to telecommuter status?

I am in the Richardson office and a large number of people were abruptly told we’re moving to telecommuter. I’m happy, but don’t understand the urgency or the decision process.

Wondering what the deal is with moving a bunch of us from VPC and TOC downtown to the new Station B office? This is adding at least another 30 minutes to my already lengthy commute! Anyone understand what’s the real reason for this?

When are the buildings going to reopen? I kinda miss office experience
